This baby oil and clove infused oil is a gentle, aromatic blend that gives your skin a soft, moisturized feel while leaving a naturally warm fragrance. The cloves release their soothing scent into the baby oil, creating a mild, spa-like effect. It’s simple to make, budget-friendly, and can be stored for weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unscented baby oil (any brand)
- 5–6 whole cloves
- 1 small glass jar or heat-safe bowl
- 1 fine strainer or muslin cloth
- 1 small airtight bottle for storage
Instructions
- Pour one cup of baby oil into a small pan or heat-safe bowl.
- Add 5–6 whole cloves to the oil.
- Warm the mixture on very low heat for 3–5 minutes (do not boil). Stir occasionally. This helps the clove aroma and natural compounds infuse into the oil.
- Turn off the heat and let the oil cool completely.
- Once cool, strain the oil using a fine strainer or muslin cloth to remove the cloves.
- Pour the filtered oil into a clean, dry bottle with a tight lid.
- Store it in a cool, dark place. It will stay fresh for about 4–6 weeks.
